No way I'll ever bother with a triple crank unless I'm using the mid ring mount single for a straight chainline.
If I'd build a front der' bike, a double -34T and 42T I guess.
Try shifting the front der' climbing. Not.
Gravity runs...you don't need to pedal much.
35 pound bike and I'd be into front der's, or hauling camping gear miles =gears.
